IMO, get the best: Progressive Industries 50AMP EMS. (I say "best" because I have one...the portable unit).
For years, I never needed one....then a nearby lightening strike fried my fridge and damaged my transfer switch. $1400.
Researched a bit, found Progressive Industries...50AMP..comes portable or hard wired. I think I paid around $350 for it. Better than another $1400, yes?

Bought it on-line from Tweetys. At the time, they had the best price.
